Chapter 298 Stop Her!

• Aphrodite’s POV
• Standing on the high marble steps of the palace, I watched Nuri go away. His figure grew smaller and fainter. I stood there quietly, letting the wind blow my skirt, until I could no longer see him. I still stood in silence in the direction of his departure.
• "Ma'am," Lily, the maid, called me carefully and softly. I came to my senses and turned to look at her. She bowed her head deferentially at first, but as I stared at her longer and longer, she began to feel uneasy. She twisted her body slightly, and her hand, which was gripping her skirt, began to shake.
